It’s been a bit serious on my blog of late so this is a welcome change!
I discovered the Avatar Maker via Alicia Coleman’s blog: https://aliciacoleman.wordpress.com/2018/05/04/3-tools-used-to-create-my-characters/
It was such fun. I had a go at picking different noses, eyes, hair, lips, hairstyles and even ears! The hardest ones to create were undoubtedly Amelina’s mum and dad as they’re meant to look really odd. I think I succeeded up to a point, the wide eyes and stubble added the finishing touches to her dad! Ryder was tricky too as he’s meant to have two different coloured eyes so I opted for a multi-coloured eye instead.
So let me introduce you to the avatars of:
Ryder – who I couldn’t make up my mind about – should he have short hair?
Or a longer style? Vote on the poll on twitter: https://twitter.com/Marjorie_Mallon/status/995242808565993472
Here he is with Amelina, my main protagonist.
Esme the mirror girl and Ilaria Miss Super Perfect.
Jade the rock chick and Joselyn the worry chick.
Amelina’s mum and dad who’ve had a rough time and it shows!
And Aunt Karissa and Kyle, because Karissa loves nothing better than the opportunity to flirt with young men! Poor Kyle, no wonder his hair is sticking up! But, he’s being polite – it’s only just a couple of protesting hairs!
There is a price promotion on my Amazon UK kindle copy at the moment more about that here: https://kyrosmagica.wordpress.com/2018/05/11/the-curse-of-time-ya-fantasy-offer-1-99-amazon-uk/
So before I go my question to you is this – which of Ryder’s avatars do you prefer?

That was so fun, Marje. The pictures in my head from reading were different, but I can totally see the characters in the avatars, especially Amelina and Esme. They were similar to how I pictured them. You make me want to procrastinate and do this with my characters.
